Jupiter Dog Beach is one of the main reasons people love this town so much. It's part of what makes Jupiter so unique. Florida has so many miles of beautiful coastline, but our two-mile stretch stands out as a clear favorite because of a few key distinctions. Jupiter Off-Leash Dog Beach is one of the few dog-friendly beaches in the ENTIRE STATE of Florida where dogs can still run and play off-leash, and it’s been a favorite of locals and visitors for decades.

The most elite club in golf has gained one more member. Yesterday, with the biggest three-foot putt of his life, Rory McIlroy realized a dream. After one of the most turbulent, nail-biting Sundays in the history of The Masters, the Jupiter local became only the sixth player ever to achieve the Career Grand Slam: winning The PGA Championship, The Open, the U.S. Open, and The Masters.

Alright, first of all, aside from being at Augusta in person, is there anything better than watching The Masters from the restaurant or clubhouse of whichever course you just finished playing? If you're a member at a club, then your clubhouse is likely the best place to watch. Palm Beach County has so many great golf clubs, communities, and courses, and they'll all be packed this weekend. However, there are also some excellent options that aren't directly attached to a club or course.
